Between the blood-curdling criminal investigations and the explosive courtroom showdowns, Season 25 of Law & Order has been delivering the thrills and chills worthy of a milestone season, and viewers can’t wait to see where the action heads next.

The 27th Precinct has been tackling some grueling criminal investigations this season, keeping Lieutenant Jessica Brady (Maura Tierney) and her steadfast detectives on their toes. There have been some squad room shake-ups following the exit of Mehcad Brooks’ Jalen Shaw, leading Detective Vincent Riley (Reid Scott) to team up with 2-7 newcomer Detective Theo Waker (David Ajala). Whether or not the duo will be a copacetic pairing has yet to be seen, but both Riley and Walker share an infallible commitment to serving justice.

Between the show’s 25-year run and Law & Order: SVU‘s mythic tenure, series creator Dick Wolf is celebrating 35 years of Law & Order love, and he couldn’t feel luckier. “I woke up the other day and realized, ‘My God, it’s been 35 years since the start of Law & Order,” Wolf told the L.A. Times in a September 2025 interview. “I remember the day after it went on and the reviews came in… They were all raves, four stars. It was unbelievable… To say I was born under a lucky star would be a massive understatement. It’s been surprising and gratifying.”
